We’re noticing a trend in many SWTOR players these days – building “armies” in their strongholds. While it might seem a little bit like an epeen contest, if you have actually seen some of the things that are being created, you will likely be a bit impressed, too. Reddit user Baianai, for example, created an awesome 7th Assault Armor Battalion of the Imperial Army. In short, it’s pretty freaking awesome. There are a variety of ways that players are getting these armies. In the one pictured below, the player made use of the GTN and clever skills at playing the market to build up their battalion. However, this is not absolutely required to make your own personal army since there are many ways to do it and part of the fun is seeing all the ways players are finding to get creative with it. Here’s another personal army by Reddit user, Derzelaz….

New SWTOR: Knights of the Fallen Empire gameplay Trailer
During Gamecon 2015, EA unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic’s upcoming expansion, Knights of the Fallen Empire. The video doesn’t show too much about what to expect with the new expansion, but it seems like it will feature moral decisionmaking. When the expansion goes live, you will be able to continue on your existing character, or you can create a brand new one that starts at level 60, thereby skip all old. Either way, you’ll take on the role of The Outlander. Check out the trailer below:

SWTOR XS Stock Freighter LEGO MOC
Here is a really awesome LEGO project by DrewRaub. Here he has an Imgur album detailing the design and building of his SWTOR MOC. Those of you who have been reading our site for awhile know that I am a huge nerd for all things LEGO and all things Star Wars so of course, I’m a fan of SWTOR/Star Wars LEGO sets. While this is a very niche set, the OP could still post it to LEGO ideas, as they are great about monitoring it and getting fan favorites into action. You can also order/buy the pieces and build the set yourself but it will run you around $275-300 based on the creator’s guidelines and the current cost of LEGO bricks. Whether you want to get it and build it yourself or just admire the great creative job by Drew, it’s pretty awesome so we’ll share his full album below so you…
Multiple Live-Action Star Wars Shows to Arrive on Netflix?
It’s clear that Disney is going all-in with Star Wars: new movies, new books, new action figures and LEGO sets, and now . . . new TV shows? Back in March, Cinelinx discussed the possibility of Disney being in talks with Netflix for a live-action TV show. But the latest rumors suggest that there could be multiple shows in the works. The fact that Disney is producing standalone Star Wars movies might lend some credence to this rumor—they’re clearly interested in cinematically exploring the rest of the universe outside of the main Republic / Empire conflict that’s been the center of the series for so long. There have been discussions of a Star Wars TV show since 2005, after George Lucas announced that he had plans for a show that took place between the prequels and the original trilogy. By 2011, he said that he had 50 episodes written. And although a number of people have…
Will Star Wars: Battlefront Have Depth that Players Want?
Here’s a discussion that is up for debate (and it likely won’t be the last time we see it being discussed): Does Star Wars: Battlefront have enough depth? Does it even have a chance to have the level of depth that some players seek? Are some people expecting too much from their multiplayer shooters these days? As gaming evolves, so does the technology in which we use to enjoy it. So also does the tastes and expectations of the people who play the games. We’ve heard many excited Alpha testers admit that they are a bit let down by the not-quite-final product of the game. Thus starts the debate between the “cynics” and the “fanboys” and with both sides going at one another, we often don’t hear real evidence about the game itself. So let’s take a look at the two main points of view and then we’d like to…
Revan – Star Wars Fan Film (2015) It’s Here!
We’ve been waiting for it and now it’s here! We’ve been giving you updates about this Revan fan film project since the beginning and we hope you are as excited as we are that it is finally complete. You can see the film in its entirety and feel free to share with your friends and family and well, everyone you know who is a fan (or might become one after seeing this). The film is based off the Revan book so if you still haven’t read it, I highly recommend it. This film also gives you the basis for the storyline of the book. About: Revan – Star Wars Fan Film (2015)” is a non-profit fan film. Star Wars is the sole copyright of Lucasfilm Ltd. The purpose of this film is to showcase the talents of its participants, with the motivation of indie filmmakers. This film was done as…
Star Wars Uprising – Dev Diary Introduction
I have been looking forward to Star wars: Uprising and thus, following along with updates from the dev team that tell us a bit more about the game. All too often we see mobile games that are movie tie-ins just created to be quick money grabs. Kabam! is known for putting more effort and depth into their games and this one is going to be no exception. In fact, this one might set a precedent. The new Dev Diary Introduction video will show you just what I mean. They’ve actually tried to create a real Star Wars experience in the palm of your hand with this one and you can color me impressed. I think there is one person on the team who probably has a lot to do with that. Daniel Erickson who was creative director on SWTOR, is now creative director on Star Wars: Uprising. It’s nice to see…
The Business Case for BioWare’s Ops Announcement
BioWare announced the future of Operations in Star Wars: The Old Republic this past Thursday. Most people weren’t thrilled about the announcement and it was mainly because they are scared about the game’s status if people stop playing. They announced that there would not be any new Operations content for the next 12 months. We think the reason for this is simply, Star Wars: Battlefront. The game is sharing a parent company and intellectual property with Star Wars: The Old Republic. We are sure that there many people that intend on playing Star Wars: Battlefront and this makes sense that EA would use a business plan to maximize their revenues from both of the games together. They both have strengths and weaknesses that seem to mesh well together. Star Wars: Battlefront has very little single-player appeal but it does have a massive multiplayer component. Star Wars: The Old Republic struggles…
